Yeah, I was really on edge with Conway throughout this episode. It's probably just that the writers just want to have a bit of fun messing with Dawn, or someone lost a bet up in Tokyo. :P

I was thinking about one of the lake Trios, but to be honest, that lake isn't really all that big. According to Ken Sugimori's map of Sinnoh, the lakes are just about as big as any city. That lake at the summer school was definitely not so big.

Well, disappointed. Yes I am. After last week's pretty damn good episode, this one really slanted down hill. I was under the impression that something more sinister was actually hiding in the cave; rather, we get a Lumineon. What kind of attack was it using to entice/hypnotise the pokés? And how did it do it from so far away? I still believe, after the 'camera' shot back into the cave after the trio and 'arc-extras' left, shows something slightly better in there.
I also believe that because of the music that played at certain moments, that I took to be the same music that played when Hikari and Satoshi saw the respective Psychics of the lake trio. Maybe that was me looking for something slightly more decent from the writers in this slightly average episode...

On another note - Conway=good. I'm also still reeling from the fact Aoi is female. It was the swimsuit that gave it away; but there was me sitting through the last episode thinking she was a 'he'...

^ I and Many MANY Other people thought the same thing lol but she looks so much like a boy

Whoa, while I was watching the episode, I was unexpectedly surprised by another swimsuit scene. My heart was pounding when I saw Dawn in a swimsuit again. Anyway, I was expecting Yuxie to be causing the green light since it takes place in a lake, but I was suspicious about the lake's location since it's not on the snow area. In the end, I was right, it was only a Lumineon, not Yuxie.

For a second, I thought that it was Azelf, but as soon as I realized that he's only at Lake Valor, I then started to bash my head over this.
*laughs*
Anyway, it was Lumineon, & the fact that it uses its fins to hypnotise others, it then makes clear sense. Ash & gang managed to get perfect marks on this, but they get a penalty for leaving the premises. That sucks... but some of the other people got that as well.

The only other thing I've got to say is that Jessie is a spoiled brat in disguise.

With this episode, Conway's creepiness factor was uped by like 1,000 points. It's unfortunate how the writer's lead us on in the Tag Battle arc, with Dawn seeming like she actually liked Conway, to now where she's like "ewno." Still, I adore HeatTagshipping and Conway, despite the overall creepiness.

This episode was disappointing though, compared to the last one. Conway made the episode imo. And Brock with his beastly art skillzz.

Just one thing I noticed about Conway and his recitation of Gorebyss' PokeDex entry - he apparently only knows the Sinnoh one. If only he told Dawn the one from Sapphire version, she would probably change her mind about Gorebyss...

"Although Gorebyss is the very picture of elegance and beauty while swimming, it is also cruel. When it spots its prey, this Pokemon inserts its thin mouth into the prey's body and drains the prey of its body fluids."

Since that's the Sapphire version entry, it makes sense Conway didn't know it but still... It would be pretty hilarious if he did tell Dawn that.

Today's showing was very thought out. I felt like I was apart of the expedition too and the underwater scene happened to be my favorite. Also, I enjoyed seeing the water type Pokes, that made it feel like an aquatic adventure. I love the drawing the animators did for Ash and Co. with the Lumineon drawing. Beautiful.
